This artist painted every pixel with a dot of paint. It does retain the hand man, hand craft appeal of original art. As always, it is fascinating to see the process of the artist first hand. Ruben H.

TRANSITIONS We are devastated to announce the tragic lost of Cara Mia Ciasulli. She was a web designer, developer and founder of Park Blvd. Marketing - a full-service boutique web agency serving San Diego and the world. While she held a Bachelor of Science from New Jersey Institute of Technology, her 12 years' experience in web is entirely self taught. An additional passion is being the founder and coordinator of San Diego's Open Arts Collective, an association promoting community multimedia arts engagement via large-scale arts events. Cara Ciasulli was also an electronic musician, vocalist, and photographer. Cara Mia Ciasulli passed away in March, 2013. We honor her memory with our continued work on the SD View Art Now app that she was so dedicated to bringing to life. ArtPulse, a visual art training and exhibition nonprofit, is moving from the Liberty Station to Bread and Salt in Barrio Logan. TIDBITS Do we see a trend here? The Frieze Fair May 9-12. in New York has new satellites whirling around it. The latest to join the Frieze fray is the new Fridge Art Fair, a small, 12-exhibitor event being held at the Lower East Side’s Gallery Onetwentyeight. Fridge Frieze, get it! Many of the SDVAN artists were contacted by Parallax Art Fairalso held at the same time and offering affordable space for individual artists. Multiple events give more reasons to visit a city during a fair season. The Amory in March is losing some of it’s participants but this April show still has the Affordable Art Fair and we are happy to SD Sergott Contemporary Art Alliance showing there. Here is one for the books and takes our Murder Mystery theme for the table at Palette to Palate (Black and White and Red All Over) part of the way into real life. Adam Parker Smith set out to steal a whole show of work for an exhibition. Once he purloined the art, he wrote and called each of the artists to tell them what he did. They all seem to agree to the joke and agreed to show their work with a small percentage of anything sold going to Mr. Smith. This little tidbit was sent to us by Michelle Kurtis Cole. Alexandra Rosa
